Genometrics Concert Hall ~Mrgrgr!!!~

「After days of walking in this seemingly never-ending desert, I finally arrived at Rakan's place. It's calm and way too peaceful, his house seems empty, he must be out somewhere. I took a quick tour around his place and I suddenly felt a really ominous aura. I tracked it down and stumbled upon a scroll, neatly sealed... I picked it up and I felt that this scroll is indeed, not something that an average mage, more less, an average human can handle. As I stare at it, I suddenly felt a sudden killing intent directed towards and quickly strafed to my right.」

「A tall muscled man tried to kick me from behind, I dodged it at the last minute and noticed it was the man I was looking for.」

"......You... Could have killed me with that kind of kick you know?"
"Hahahahahaha!! What are you talking about, I held back!!"

「Indeed, he did hold back, if not, this house would have be blown to smithereens... Since he's here now, I've decided to get to the point.」

"Rakan-san, I've come here to ask you to train me."
"Huh?"
"Yeah."
"It will cost you at least this much Drachma!"

「He widens his arms as much as he could, I expected that much... This money freak.」

"I'll find a way to pay you somehow, please, teach me!!"
"...You're that determined aren't you?"
"Yeah"
"Let me guess, you almost died and you realized that you were weak, now you need more power so you can survive against those stronger foes"
"....Yeah...."
"Alright, I'll take you in, but first of all, hit me with all you got!!"
"...Are you sure?"
"Yep!! But first, let's go outside"

「As he said that, we immediately headed outside. Around his house, there's a huge tower and a huge lake with many kinds of floras growing up around the place. It's quite a relaxing atmosphere.」

"Alright, give me all you got!!"

「...He's dead serious. But he's Rakan, the invincible... I can't hold back on this punch.」

"...Alright, don't regret this Rakan-san!"
"Not at all hahahaha!!"

「I get into position.」

"Vis Maxima!!"

「A massive amount of energy is flowing through me. I raised right fist towards the sky, a vortex starts to form around my arm and fist.」

"Winds of destruction, breezes of chaos, bring thee forth and make waste of everything! Ruination Storm!"

「As I finished my chant, a huge vortex quickly forms around me.」

"Hng!! Urgh!!! Aaaaah!!"

「I concentrated all my magical powers into my arm, the vortex suddenly starts to compress around my fist and front arm, until it finally compressed itself into a shell like aura around my arm. Rakan notices this and is surprised.」

"Hm! That's...!"

「I jumped back, gathered wind on my feet, compressed them and when they were ready, I set them off at the same time that I leapt, giving me an incredible increase of speed.」

"Hohoho!!"

「Rakan seems excited. As approached the human wall, I aimed towards his solar plexus.」

"Take my original technique at point blank!! Emerald Vulcan!!"

「As I shouted that, my punch connected to the desired target. A huge gust of wind emanated from where we stood, a huge blow of wind goes through his body. When everything has calmed down, I retired my fist, walked back a bit and there I saw, Rakan, staring at the emptiness in front of him.」

"...Is he dead?"

「No response...」

"...Nope!! Gyahaha-blarg!!"

「He started throwing up blood and he fainted.」

"Oh crap, Rakan-sa--"

「He suddenly got up like nothing happened... He IS a monster...」

"You know what?"
"What?"
"You pass!!"
"....Yay?"
"Hahahahaha"

「He laughed his pain away, seeing him laughing like that, I just can't help but laugh alongside him. And so, began my training with Rakan.」
